Fossil fuels present the difficult-to-reconcile dilemma that the energy systems of today's society dictate that we use great quantities of fossil fuels to produce the energy we need, but their use results in the liberation of large volumes of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), which is one of the so-called «greenhouse gases». Certain models predict that uncontrolled releases of greenhouse gases could result in unacceptable increases in global mean temperature. This dilemma is examined and a method of management of the use of fossil fuels is presented that will help to mitigate the problems their use creates
